Go get the ball Rocky!

Ellie Woodburn lives in a small cabin off of a busy city road. She enjoys playing outside with her dog Rocky and hanging out with her friends.

"Ellie, you should come inside and do your homework," yelled Ellie's mom.

"Okay, mommy," shouted Ellie.

Did you do your math?

Not yet

Ellie comes inside to a table with cheeseburgers her mom. She has always loved cheeseburgers, so she was excited for dinner.

"Ellie, you really need to do your homework," mom said.

"I will after dinner," promised Ellie.

"Good. Now you can enjoy your food," mom said.

Forget the homework. Let's have fun instead!

I promised my mom though

Ellie finally decided to go to her room to do her homework but there was someone there.

"Hiya, I'm the Procrastinator! Do you wanna play?" asked the monster.

"I have homework to do," explained Ellie.

Eventually they decide to play with Ellie's dolls instead of doing her math homework. Ellie wanted to have fun instead of doing boring schoolwork.

Before long it was 8:30pm, which was Ellie's bedtime.

"Goodnight, mommy," Ellie said.

"Sleep tight Ellie," mom said as she kissed Ellie good night.

Ellie went to bed and dreamt about sugar plums and her dolls. She wasn't thinking about her math homework. It was forgotten while she was playing games with the Procrastinator.

Goodnight, Mr. Procrastinator

Goodnight

The Next Day at Milbury Elementary School

Good morning class. We are going to go over the homework

When Mrs. Roberts, Ellie's teacher, said that they were going to go over the homework, Ellie got extremely nervous. She didn't do the homework because she was playing with dolls.

Ellie was hoping and begging that she wouldn't get called on but with her luck...

"Ellie, do you have the answer for question two?" asked Mrs. Roberts.

"I uh I..." mumbled Ellie.
